Hi xen-api, As of changeset 66083ee70 in xen-org/xen-api master there is experimental support for pure PV text consoles.
It's now possible to type: $ xe console vm=myvm to attach to the console, just like "xm console" and "xl console". This avoids having to mess around with port-forwarding and VNC, making debugging a lot easier. From the XenAPI point of view, a PV guest now has 2 consoles, one with protocol=rfb and one with protocol=vt100. The vncterm VNC is still available via the protocol=rfb console. Many thanks to Ewan Mellor (cc:d) who provided the necessary changes to vncterm to make this work! Furthermore for the really adventurous, there is experimental experimental support for PVFB, activated by setting the option: $ xe vm-param-set uuid=... platform:pvfb=true Anecdotally this worked quite well for me when I installed a debian squeeze VM. Cheers, Dave Scott
